Chapter 6 Copying Eye, Awakening Lightning Release Ninjutsu, Five Spirit Kings
Huo Yuhao stood beside the dying datura snake, tilting his head slightly.
Their heterochromatic eyes were fixed on the two people who emerged from the woods.
His left eye was a clear, ethereal azure gaze. His right eye was a scarlet, eerie Sharingan with three tomoe.
Under the gaze of those eerie eyes, Beibei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He felt as if all his weaknesses had been exposed.
"What's up?"
Huo Yuhao's voice was cold, carrying obvious displeasure.
Beibei took a deep breath, adjusted her tense nerves, and put on a gentle smile, trying to extend goodwill.
"Don't be nervous, young man. Let me introduce myself. I'm Beibei, a student at Shrek Academy."
He turned to the side and pointed to the girl in pink behind him.
"She is Tang Ya."
Beibei cupped his hands again, his tone sincere: "Young brother, this datura snake is what we've been tracking all along, and it's very important to Xiaoya. Would you be so kind as to let us have it?"
Seemingly afraid that Huo Yuhao would misunderstand that they wanted to seize it by trickery, Bei Bei immediately added:
"Of course, we will not take your spoils for nothing. We will give you sufficient compensation."
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly.
Shrek Academy... Is the original storyline coming to an end here?
"Words are no proof."
Huo Yuhao pointed to the snake on the ground, "You say you hunted it all the way here, where's the proof? In this forest, whoever kills a soul beast owns it. I can't just give up what's already in my mouth because of your words."
Upon hearing this, Beibei breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good if they're reasonable; what's scary is someone who resorts to violence at the slightest disagreement.
"That's easy. Young man, you can check this snake's belly. There are several obvious scorch marks. Those are the marks left by the lightning soul skill."
Huo Yuhao looked as instructed.
Under the keen observation of mental detection, traces of electrical burns were indeed discovered.
"This is exactly the damage I inflicted on it just now using my second soul skill, 'Thunderous Might'."
In order to completely dispel Huo Yuhao's doubts.
"Watch closely."
Crack!
A crisp sound.
Beibei's arms changed instantly.
His once slender arms bulged with muscles, covered with a layer of fine blue-purple dragon scales, and his hands transformed into ferocious dragon claws.
Three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, pulsed beneath his feet.
That's a top-tier beast spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.
"Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Might!"
Beibei let out a low shout and swung its claw at a large tree beside it that was as thick as a person's embrace.
Countless tiny electric snakes instantly magnified in the air, transforming into a dense net of lightning that enveloped the tree with a piercing roar.
boom!
There was no violent explosion, but the trunk of the large tree instantly turned charred black, then snapped and fell to the ground with a "crack".
Blue arcs of electricity still flickered at the break.
Huo Yuhao's scarlet right eye began to spin wildly at that moment.
Is this how soul skills work?
With the Sharingan's insight, Bebe's soul power flow trajectory was clearly presented in Huo Yuhao's mind.
In that instant, a sudden realization dawned on Huo Yuhao.
I see.
In this world, I do not understand the principles of ninjutsu.
But I can use the Sharingan's "copying" ability to analyze the principles of Soul Techniques!
Once I understand how he creates lightning through his soul power, I can apply that knowledge to simulate ninjutsu using chakra!
The door to lightning-attribute ninjutsu has been opened.
After the demonstration, Bei Bei withdrew her martial spirit, her aura becoming steady.
"So, young man, do you believe me now?"
The red light in Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually faded. He nodded, waved his right hand, and the wooden stake inserted into the body of the Mandragora Snake instantly broke and disappeared.
"Well, since you found it first, then take it."
"Very good!"
Tang Ya cheered and jumped up like a rabbit, "Thank you so much, little brother! You're such a good person!"
She eagerly pulled out a short blade and ended the life of the mandrake serpent.
A purple spirit ring slowly appeared.
Tang Ya immediately sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the spirit ring.
Bei Bei stood to the side, seemingly casual, but actually tense, protecting Tang Ya while also keeping an eye on Huo Yuhao.
After all, the strange wood release technique and the red eye he had just encountered were still fresh in his memory.
"Young man, what's your name?"
Beibei tried to break the silence, "You look quite young, why are you venturing into the Star Dou Great Forest alone? It's very dangerous here."
Huo Yuhao did not answer immediately.
With a thought, the soul ring disguised as yellow slowly rose from beneath his feet.
"Huo Yuhao".
He said calmly, "The purpose of this trip is to obtain a soul ring."
Upon seeing that yellow, century-old soul ring, the usually composed Bei Bei finally lost his composure.
His pupils contracted sharply, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels:
"One ring?! You are... a one-ring Soul Master?!"
How is that possible?
A storm raged within Beibei's heart.
Was the one that could pin the thousand-year-old Mandragora Serpent to the tree released by a one-ring Soul Master with only one Soul Ring?
Even I would have to put in some effort to defeat this Mandragora Serpent. What level is it? Level eleven? Level twelve?
"Brother Yuhao, how...how did you defeat that thousand-year-old soul beast?"
Beibei couldn't help but ask, as this completely overturned his common sense about Soul Masters.
Huo Yuhao was about to make up an excuse to get away with it.
Sudden.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several whooshing sounds came from overhead.
Several enormous wind baboons, gripping the vines, used the momentum of their swinging motion to scream as they charged toward Tang Ya, who was absorbing a spirit ring.
Attracted by the smell of blood, they tried to launch a sneak attack.
One of them has already spat out a wind bullet.
"careful!"
Beibei's expression changed, and she was about to make a move.
"Need not."
Huo Yuhao coldly uttered two words.
He raised his hands, his fingertips moving rapidly, forming hand seals that Beibei had never seen before.
Having just explained the principle behind thunderous force, I'll use you guys to test it out.
The chakra within Huo Yuhao's body instantly became violent and sharp, surging along his meridians to his hands.
"Since you've asked me what my martial soul is, then watch closely."
"Lightning Release: Lightning Prison!"
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!
As Huo Yuhao completed his final hand seal, no spirit rings flashed, but a blinding blue light suddenly burst forth in the air.
Centered on the few wind baboons, more than a dozen azure lightning bolts appeared out of thin air. They intertwined and connected, instantly transforming into a three-dimensional lightning cage.
"squeak--!"
The wind baboons crashed into the lightning barrier, instantly electrocuted by the high-voltage current until their bodies were charred black. Before they could even scream, they fell straight to the ground, billowing black smoke.
The wind projectile that was spat out also vanished without a trace.
This move combines the previously copied "Thunderous Might".
Although it is still very rough, its power is amazing.
Bei Bei stared wide-eyed at the charred corpses on the ground, then looked at Huo Yuhao.
Beibei's shock deepened.
What kind of martial soul is that? From what I've observed, he should be a plant-type soul master, right?
How could he possibly launch a lightning-attribute attack? Is it a mutated martial soul?
Moreover, the lightning fluctuations in that lightning cage move just now were actually similar to my Thunderous Might!
How did he do it?
Huo Yuhao withdrew his hands and said calmly:
"My martial spirit is called 'Elementalist'. It can control the five elements."
These words, though only half true, were enough to plunge Beibei into deeper self-doubt and shock.
"Control of the five elements?"
Beibei's brain was working at lightning speed. As a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and one of the twin stars of Shrek Academy's outer court, he was confident that he had seen countless strange martial souls.
But an "Elementalist"? Controlling the five elements? That's simply a fantasy!
Even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion can often only use one or two elements.
Beibei glanced at Tang Ya, who was absorbing a spirit ring beside her, and secretly pondered:
The Tang Clan is now in decline and urgently needs fresh blood.
Although this young man is aloof and arrogant with a mysterious background, his strength and talent are simply astonishing.
If we could bring him into the Tang Clan...
